Chiefs announce preseason opponents

The Kansas City Chiefs will open preseason play against the New Orleans Saints at the Superdome.

The NFL announced preseason matchups Thursday, although dates and times are not yet set.

After playing New Orleans, the Chiefs will face the San Francisco 49ers at Arrowhead Stadium, the Pittsburgh Steelers at Heinz Field and the Green Bay Packers back home in Kansas City.

The first two games will feature reunions with the Chiefs two new quarterbacks. Presumed starter Alex Smith played for San Francisco and presumed backup Chase Daniel had spent his whole career with the Saints.

The league is expected to announce its full schedule for the regular season later this month.
